• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Help with adjusting belt tension & alignment please? Any step-by-step guides?

    Isn't the service manual using a vibration calibration for tension with a meter? The Krikit is a static device and measures pounds, not "N". I think you'll find that most here say around 210 pounds on the Krikit is good for 2020+ Sypders. Hope that helps.

    Is there any way to keep the windshield up instead of raising it each ride?

    So, does the same procedure turn it back to the OEM setting?

    Should there be a bolt thru these Empty holes?

    yes...agree with Flier Tuck. One side of my 2020RT was missing the bolt, so replaced it. It helps hold the side case in position.

    Any Pics of 2020+ RT Daylong or Laam Driver's Seats?

    Mine is the Vinyl Light Grey (there are more shades of grey if using leather) After having 5 day-long seats, I prefer vinyl over leather. With riding gear on, my butt can't tell the difference and leather requires more maintenance. I haven't tried Sunbrella.

    Dash went black & I couldn't shift - blown fuse! No idea why...

    Thanks Bert. I appreciate your learned comments. Gasoline for all my vehicles is Chevron with Techron; Shell; BP; or some other top tier station. Got caught in South Dakota last summer, needing any gasoline that I could find... I'll try to not let that happen again.

    Dash went black & I couldn't shift - blown fuse! No idea why...

    Thanks Bert...that was the first and only time it happened in 31K miles. An upcoming 1,000 mile trip 13 days from now makes me consider replacing it.

    Dash went black & I couldn't shift - blown fuse! No idea why...

    Yesterday, I suited up and went out for a ride. Key "on", Spyder fired right up...but when I tried to put it into reverse, the dash went black and the left hand switch cluster went dead. Having replaced the left hand switch cluster a few months ago, my worst fear was that it had crapped out...
